J. S. Thompson traces the origins and history of astrology for more than five thousand years, from ancient Sumeria and Babylonia through Biblical times and on to the work of great scientists and magicians like Ptolemy, Kepler, John Dee, William Lilly, and Nostradamus. The astrology of the ancients was quite different from most of what passes today for astrology. The mystics and priests of ancient times visualized a grand system in which heavenly bodies, plants, metals, and the destinies of men were linked by signs and symbols which could be read by intuition. It was by such inner understanding that the old herbalists understood the medicinal virtues of plants, and connected them with shapes, colors, seasons, and astrological influences. It would be mistaken to assume that such botanical knowledge was acquired simply by experiment. It is clear that in those times there was another way of knowing, and that what modern experimental science validates by trial~and~error, the peoples of the past knew by intuition. Dr. C. J. S. Thompson was a celebrated historian of medicine and surgery, and curator of one of the greatest medical museums in England. At the same time, he was a lifelong student of the occult and author of many books on magic, alchemy, apparitions, and the whole range of occult subjects.

Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. E.A. Wallis Budge was the ultimate work-experience boy, signing on as an assistant to the Antiquities Department at the British Museum in London and eventually rising from working class beginnings to become Keeper of the Department of Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities. During this time he taught himself a variety of languages including Pharaonic and Assyrian and put himself through school. Of the many books he wrote once he had attained his position in the archaeological community, this one numbers among the best and, although now more than somewhat out of date with the current thinking in Egyptology, that community still has a soft spot for it. Used as a reference for everything from Egyptian art, to movies, to occult research, this book traces the origins and techniques surrounding the mummification process, not neglecting the spells, inscriptions and religious aspects of the process. A reader might come to this text out of a sense of morbid fascination; however, they'll leave with a profound respect for the Ancient Egyptian culture and the sheer scope and sensitivity of its funereal and cultural practices.
